Hong Kong is a great work for shopping & entertainment since the goodes and services are very cheap, as for most of the currency whose exchange ratio is 1 dollars to more than one HKD, which means the spending power is magnified and the transport system is very fast & reliable.
So this is a great gift & attractive reasons why foreigners like to spending money in HK for anything.
But that come with a deadly weakness to Hong Kong, since the exchange ratio from HKD to most of the currencies in the world are several HKD to one foreign currency. As a result, the spending power of Hong Kong people always being diminished.
Since the transport system is fast & reliable and HK is very small, so the requirement for the society is to things faster and faster than that of before, which put a lots of pressure on the employer and civil.
So HK is a good place to spend your money, but a bad place to earn your money as your earning always being diminished no matter you travel or not, since HK always import somethings from other country.
So let say a cheap good in USA, doesn't mean this is cheap in HK as it always at least added the shipping fee to price of good and the import/export custom and something extra (but I don't know what are does?).
Unfortunately, I born in Hong Kong and of course being affected by this bad stuff.
Of course, I would want to work & live in other country as HK is not a desired place to live.
But I don't have the money, qualified to do so and no idea about how to achieve this.
Moreover, I was also worried about the medicinal cost & tax.
